Wear Your Scarf As a Shirt Tutorial

By now, this scarf (a fabulous Cee discovery) has taken the blogger world by storm. Cee has done a wonderful job of showing all the versatile ways to wear this and I wanted to show how I plan to wear it as a top. Note - tie your knots securely and wear a tank underneath to prevent any wardrobe malfunctions!

Top Option #1 Knotted Halter:

How to:

About 6-8 inches down from the center of the top, tie a small knot.

Using the top 2 corners, tie a small knot behind your neck. Tie another small knot at your waist/hips with the bottom 2 corners. (Please excuse the visible bra straps!)

OHMYGOSH, I LOVE THIS! (Sorry for typing in all caps, but I'm excited beyond belief here). This blows all the ways I've worn the scarf out of the water. So creative and I will be copying! The second version is my favorite -- but is there a way to tie the strap without a scarf ring? ... or this will be my excuse to go shopping :)

Wow, I forgot you had a baby bump! You're right-- it's really good at hiding it. This is something I would totally try this with the right scarf! You think it'd be scandalous to wear just the scarf this summer? Haha kidding! (maybe not.) :)

Aww, thank you everyone but I can't take credit. I found these tutorials a while ago (in an old Hermes scarf guide I think) and only just now tried them out. You can find more at Hermes site (a newer version):

Cee - You are so cute! I updated this post with using a regular ring rather than a scarf ring and with the link to the Hermes scarf guide that has even more ways to tie your scarf so I hope you like this too. No worries - I'll have a baby bump pic later this week :)

Hurricanekerrie - You could definitely wear it by itself (esp. as a cute bathing suit cover-up) but probably want to at least wear a stick-on bra only because I'm not so confident that those knots will hold up throughout the day :)

R.L. - Thanks! I'm really just passing on the info since I originally saw it on the Hermes guide. Congrats on getting the scarf! It's a really beautiful scarf for a great price!

Aubrey - Thanks love! I think I'm going to buy a few more scarves to use a colorful tops :)

A. Li - You are so sweet! I'm just passing on the info though from Hermes :)

i'm so bookmarking this post.. i love love scarves.. but i never wear them because i don't know how to!!!! i love all the creative ways you've made to wear this scarf.. i'm so going to buy a scarf right now hahahha. RIGHT NOW!

What a cool way to wear a scarf! My husband and I stopped by Nordie Rack past weekend. We also stopped the Kenwood Mall. I really like it. It was fun to shop someplace else other than the nearby malls once in awhile.

LOVE the ways you're showing on here. You are so amazingly creative. That scarf ring you have is so "Gucci" ! I was drawn to Cee's scarf immediately because of the Gucci-esque horsebit pattern for a spectacular price.
